Chapter 156: The Art of Reverse Spiritual Communication! Taking Momotaro Rice Ball Deep into the Ryuchi Cave, the Surprise of the Ten Thousand Snakes
"Ok?"

Suddenly, Orochimaru felt a powerful chakra wave coming from all directions.

Then several shadow clones attacked him like an overwhelming force.

"It's still too naive."

Orochimaru sneered and reacted quickly, twisting his body like a snake to avoid several attacks.

However, the oppressive feeling in the darkness still made it difficult for him to fully display his strength.

Uzumaki Naruto took the opportunity to launch an attack. The Rasengan quickly condensed in his hand. The powerful chakra rotated, and with the power to tear the air, he suddenly rushed towards Orochimaru.

"Spiral pills!"

Naruto shouted, and a powerful chakra ball flashed brightly, breaking through the darkness and pointing directly at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru felt this powerful force in an instant and immediately stepped back.

The figure flashed in the darkness, and instantly performed the substitution technique to escape from Naruto's attack range.

"This ninjutsu is really tricky."

Although he dodged it, Orochimaru frowned.

But the next second, Orochimaru's brows relaxed.

Although he was temporarily suppressed, he believed that the darkness would not last forever.

At this moment, on the rooftop, darkness swallowed everything like a tide, covering the entire space.

It was as if all light sources between heaven and earth had been lost, and the darkness was like a boundless abyss, suffocating.

There was a strong sense of oppression in the air, as if even breathing had become heavy.

This darkness not only blocks the vision, but also swallows up all the vitality and light, making people feel the invisible fear.

Not far away, several Konoha Village ninjas were patrolling hurriedly.

Suddenly, their eyes all noticed the unusual darkness in the direction of the rooftop.

At first they thought it was an illusion.

But soon, they felt a powerful chakra fluctuation spreading from the direction of the rooftop, and a tense and dangerous atmosphere was flowing in the air.

"What happened over there?"

A patrolling Konoha Village ninja suddenly stopped, with surprise in his eyes: "Is that manufactured?"

"It's a chakra fluctuation, so eerie. Quick, go check it out and notify the nearby jonin immediately."

"problem occurs!"

Several ninjas looked at each other, not daring to delay for a moment, and immediately turned around and moved quickly towards the rooftop.

They could feel the cold chakra aura spreading, as if foreshadowing the existence of some danger.

Moreover, that darkness did not seem to be an ordinary spell, as it could create such a huge, suffocating sense of oppression.

They really couldn't imagine how ninjutsu could be like this.

Never heard of it!
At the same time, Orochimaru in the darkness suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He had clearly sensed the movements of the nearby ninjas.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a playful smile.

He chuckled quietly and said, "Naruto, let's forget it this time."

Orochimaru's voice sounded low in the darkness with a hint of teasing.

Orochimaru licked his lips gently and said calmly, "I was just testing you this time, don't be angry. Next time, I will come to cooperate with you, don't worry, I will bring more detailed ninjutsu by then."

"Son of a bitch."

Hearing this, Uzumaki Naruto's face darkened.

Is this guy ready to run?
He had no intention of getting entangled with this dangerous guy.

Because he knew that he was no match for Orochimaru at the moment.

At the same time, although the darkness on the rooftop can block the opponent's vision, it also attracts too much attention.

If other ninjas find out, things will only become more complicated!
If this guy hadn't wanted to steal his storage ring, he wouldn't have been able to perform the ninjutsu he had just obtained.

"Naruto, someone is already here. If you don't want to be discovered, leave."

At this time, Orochimaru's voice sounded again, reminding Uzumaki Naruto, causing Uzumaki Naruto's face to change and he became nervous in an instant.

"So, that's it for now."

Orochimaru laughed coldly, and his figure quickly disappeared in the darkness like a ghost: "See you next time, Naruto."

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru disappeared into the darkness like a ghost, as if he had never existed.

On the entire rooftop, only the darkness still enveloped everything, making people feel creepy.

"Son of a bitch!"

Seeing Orochimaru running away as soon as he said he would, Naruto gritted his teeth in anger, but he also knew that he had to evacuate immediately.

Without any hesitation, Uzumaki Naruto decisively and quickly left the place and headed straight for the hospital below.

It was too late to escape outside.

The only way to be safe is to go back to the hospital.

He knew very well that the current situation was extremely dangerous.

Soon, several ninjas arrived at the rooftop.

Everything before them made them look extremely solemn.

Because the rooftop was still shrouded in thick darkness, like a bottomless abyss that swallowed up all light and breath.

They felt a powerful cold chakra fluctuation, but could not see the situation in the darkness no matter what.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

One ninja's eyes widened and his voice was filled with surprise: "I have never seen it, nor have I heard of it."

"Boundary?"

A ninja frowned and whispered, "Which village's ninja created such a large barrier?"

"Whatever the case, let's wait for the jonin to come. We shouldn't act rashly."

Several ninjas frowned as they looked at the darkness that they dared not approach.

At this moment, the darkness on the rooftop was still depressing and heavy, as if the whole world was enclosed in endless darkness.

But soon, the darkness began to dissipate.

"what happened?"

"Such a strong chakra fluctuation, what happened here?"

"Didn't they say there was a barrier? Why didn't I see it?"

Soon, Kakashi, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi arrived.

On the rooftop, several ninjas were already waiting with serious expressions.

When he saw Kakashi and others arriving, he immediately spoke and said something.

"Strong chakra fluctuations."

Yuhi Kurenai squatted down and felt it with a serious expression, then whispered, "It's also very cold. It's not a barrier, it's a ninjutsu."

Illusion?
She actually felt the essence of illusion.

But what kind of illusion can allow others to see from a distance?

These ninjas just said that they saw an enormous darkness covering the rooftop of the hospital.

"Could it be Orochimaru?"

Asuma Sarutobi looked serious: "Who fought with Orochimaru?"

"No, that's impossible."

The next second, Asuma Sarutobi shook his head.

How terrifying would the opponent be if Orochimaru's level of ninjutsu were used?
"There is indeed Orochimaru among the dangerous elements in Konoha Village. Even if it is not Orochimaru who did it, it is related to Orochimaru."

Asuma Sarutobi continued in a deep voice: "Report to the Hokage first, and the rest of you come with me."

As he said that, Asuma Sarutobi thought about taking the few ninjas who had witnessed the incident away and headed straight for the Hokage's office.

Kakashi, on the other hand, didn't hesitate at all and headed straight for the hospital below.

Might Guy and Kurenai followed immediately.

If Orochimaru appeared here, he would definitely be coming for Uchiha Sasuke.

However, when they arrived at Uchiha Sasuke's ward, they found Uzumaki Naruto lying on the hospital bed, holding Charmander and yawning.

Haruno Sakura sat on the edge of Uchiha Sasuke's bed.

"how do you feel?"

Looking at Uchiha Sasuke who had already woken up, Kakashi was a little surprised and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Kakashi noticed that Uchiha Sasuke looked much better.

"Kind of."

The Uchiha nodded, touching the curse seal on his neck and whispering, "Especially just now, it felt very strong."

"It looks like it's most likely Orochimaru."

Might Guy's face was solemn. He said, "You must be careful. If it really doesn't work, don't stay in the hospital. Go directly to the tower. There are special rooms in the tower."

Since Orochimaru's target is Uchiha Sasuke.

Now that Uchiha Sasuke is outside, he will definitely be noticed by Orochimaru.

What if Orochimaru comes again?
They won't stay by Sasuke's side all the time. "I'll think about it."

After hearing what Kurenai Yuhi said, Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a moment and then spoke in a low voice.

"Ah."

Kakashi nodded and looked at Naruto and Haruno Sakura: "Then Naruto, Sakura, you guys take care of Sasuke. Although you have passed the second test, there are still preliminaries in four days, so you have to be ready."

"Yes!"

Hearing Kakashi's words, Haruno Sakura nodded quickly.

Then, Kakashi, Might Guy and Kurenai left.

Seeing this, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura both subconsciously glanced at Uzumaki Naruto.

Just now they all felt a terrifying chakra pressure.

If nothing unexpected happens, it was probably caused by the collision between Orochimaru and Uzumaki Naruto. They really want to know the situation.

However, seeing that Uzumaki Naruto looked very tired, he knew that this was not a good time to ask.

"Oh, careless."

At this time, Uzumaki Naruto, who was lying on the bed holding Charmander, looked uncomfortable.

Why did I become so careless?

Cooperating with such dangerous elements, they would attack directly at the slightest disagreement.

Damn Orochimaru.

It's too dangerous.

Subconsciously, Uzumaki Naruto touched his storage ring.

If this storage ring were to be taken away by Orochimaru, he would be in big trouble.

Moreover, after just performing that terrifying large-scale A-level illusion, even Uzumaki Naruto felt tired.

It's not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue.

"Damn Orochimaru."

Uzumaki Naruto muttered a few curses and forced himself to stay awake.

He was afraid that Orochimaru would come back again.

While Uzumaki Naruto was trying hard to fight sleepiness.

the other side.

Orochimaru has already left.

He looked at the Momotaro rice ball in his hand with interest.

I have to say, Uzumaki Naruto did give him a surprise.

"Uzumaki Naruto. It looks like you have quite a few good things on you."

Orochimaru murmured in a low voice, with a slight sneer on his lips: "In this case, I will see how magical this rice ball is and whether it can complete my plan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru took out a sealing scroll from his sleeve.

The sealed scroll unfolded in the air, and the paper was covered with complex runes.

Orochimaru skillfully sealed the rice ball in his hand into the scroll. A blue light flashed on the scroll for a moment, and then it quickly closed.

"Now, it's time to go to the Ryuchi Cave."

Orochimaru smiled slightly, quickly formed a seal, and gently slapped the ground with his palm.

"Anti-psychic art!"

Before he finished his words, a huge black vortex suddenly appeared beneath the ground, as if the earth had cracked open a bottomless passage.

Orochimaru's figure was instantly swallowed by the darkness.

His figure disappeared in the whirlpool, leaving only a cold breath in the air.

When Orochimaru appeared again, he saw a completely different scene.

This place is filled with a gloomy atmosphere, surrounded by endless darkness and dampness.

The air was filled with the smell of decay and dampness, as if every breath carried a rotten smell.

Orochimaru stood at the entrance of the cave and took a deep breath.

Longdi Cave.

If it wasn't his plan, he wouldn't come in again.

However, since it was related to his own plan, Orochimaru still had to take the risk.

Looking down, I felt the slippery and uneven ground under my feet. There were caves of various sizes all around me. These caves were bottomless, like cracks leading to hell.

Moss and vines cling to the stone walls of the cave, and damp water drops slowly drip from above, making crisp dripping sounds that echo around.

The most eye-catching thing is the countless snakes entrenched in the Longdi Cave.

These snakes are big and small, some are as thin as thumbs, and some are as thick as dragons, winding and entwined in every corner of the cave.

Their scales gleamed coldly in the dim light, and their eyes glowed an eerie red like ghosts.

Some snakes were moving around, twisting their bodies and leaving winding trails on the slippery ground.

Longdi Cave seemed to be occupied by an endless group of snakes, some of which were entangled around the stone pillars, and some were swimming back and forth in the caves. The entire cave was dominated by their presence.

The cold air emanating from these snakes made the entire environment even more eerie and terrifying.

Then, Orochimaru's throat moved and a scroll was slowly spit out.

After spitting it out, Orochimaru took some sticky liquid and walked towards the Ryuchi Cave.

As Orochimaru moved deeper, the snakes in the Ryuchi Cave would automatically make way for him.

It was as if they had a natural awe and obedience towards Orochimaru in their hearts.

Orochimaru walked slowly into the depths of the Ryuchi Cave. The temperature around him became increasingly colder, and the surrounding snakes became increasingly larger.

The air seemed to be filled with an ancient and evil power, and every inch of Longdi Cave carried an invisible sense of oppression.

The darkness and coldness of the Ryuchi Cave seemed to become increasingly intense. As Orochimaru walked, the surrounding snakes began to become restless, making low hissing sounds, as if they sensed that some unknown power was approaching.

As Orochimaru went deeper, some snakes did not actively make way for a passage, but remained motionless.

Orochimaru was not surprised either.

After walking for a while, I stopped. The air around me seemed even colder and heavier.

But Orochimaru didn't care, but still had that cold smile on his face: "Many snakes."

"Orochimaru?!"

The next second, a low and gloomy voice suddenly came from the depths of the cave, as if it came from the abyss under the earth, carrying some creepy power.

"You actually came?"

The sound was low and hoarse, as if it sounded quietly in the endless darkness, echoing on the surrounding cave walls and vibrating the air in the cave.

There was a mixture of surprise and dissatisfaction in his voice, as if he was surprised by Orochimaru's sudden visit.

"Why? You came to Longdi Cave, do you want to take a test?"

The voice became increasingly cold, with a hint of sarcasm in it.

As the voice rang out, Orochimaru's gaze turned slightly to the depths of the cave, his lips still maintaining that cold smile, as if he had anticipated the appearance of this voice.

He raised his eyes slightly, and his sight fell on a huge shadow-shrouded cave in front of him.

A huge figure slowly moved from the depths of the dark cave.

It was a huge snake and quite agile.

Its body meandered in the cave like a giant dragon, and its scales flashed a cold purple light in the dim light, as if every scale was terrifyingly sharp.

The long body coiled inside the cave, making a slight friction sound.

This is Orochimaru’s summoning beast—the first generation Mangeki!
There was a hint of cold light in Manzo's deep purple eyes, revealing that he was full of curiosity and confusion about Orochimaru's arrival.

As one of the most powerful summoning beasts in Ryuchi Cave, Manabu has a contractual relationship with Orochimaru, but this does not mean that it will have a favorable impression of Orochimaru every time he visits.

Especially since Orochimaru has been giving him fewer offerings lately.

Thinking of this, the Ten Thousand Snakes seemed to be staring closely at Orochimaru's every move with their huge snake pupils: "What is your purpose in coming to the Ryuchi Cave? Could it be that you want to accept the test of the Ryuchi Cave?"

"With your strength, you can't get through."

Wanshe's voice became increasingly cold, with a hint of sarcasm.

"Not really!"

After hearing Manzo's words, Orochimaru stood in front of Manzo, smiled slightly, and narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't care about Manzo's questioning.

He raised his head, looked coldly at the huge snake pupil, and said in a cold and indifferent voice: "I am not prepared to do this."

At this point, Orochimaru licked his lips gently, his eyes deep: "This time I came to the Ryuchi Cave, not for the trial, but I have made some new discoveries, I want to verify them here, and by the way, bring you something."

"You? Bring me something?"

Hearing Orochimaru's words, the huge body of the snake moved slightly, and the snake scales rubbed against the stone wall, making a low crackling sound, as if it was a little confused about Orochimaru's explanation.

To know.

Even if Orochimaru summoned it outside, sometimes he couldn't gather all the sacrifices, and even dragged his feet.

This time, Orochimaru actually came to the Ryuchi Cave in person. Wanshe was very interested: "What? What big move are you making? You actually took the initiative to bring the sacrifice here. Have you grown up?"

Ten thousand snakes raised their heads slightly, and their huge bodies slowly swam in the cave, with a hint of curiosity and confusion flashing in their purple snake eyes.

"It's not a sacrifice, it's just a kind of food."

Shewan smiled slightly, slowly took out the sealing scroll, and said slowly: "I won't let you down, Wanshe."
